Flaking Alloys - Replace or Refurb?

[Jeansy]

I got mine replaced. Had to kick off big time with audi UK. That is my best advice.

I had 2 wheels with flaking paint. Audi Wimbledon replaced all 4 wheels without me even asking. Was expecting them to repaint only the flaking ones hut got 4 new wheels. Asked them if I could buy the old wheels off them but apparently Audi wanted them back for analysis.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers the thread but it is there... I had a similar issue where 2 of my wheels started flaking; both were replaced on warrantee. I had to kick it off with audi uk as well lol but it was finally sorted.

HAd two damaged at the dealer when they accidentally kerbed it at very low speed thankfully.

They refurbished them (sprayed) and they started flaking after 3 months - dealer states that they now powder coat as 'refurbishing' as previously done was 'no good'.

Had the defective ones replaced by Audi UK.
